Season 2, Episode 6: Nampodong

Ilkwang Camera is one of the best shops in the city. Click here for their site.

With a heavy heart I must announce the end of Season 1. Last week my father passed away and I must take some time off to fly home and be with my family. This is a very emotional time for me and I feel that I can not really focus on the podcast at the moment in time.
Don't worry, I will be back with season 2 in early 2021. I just need some time to heal.
Thank you so much for your support and I hope that we all can put 2020 behind us
